Basically the bass is one instrument that determines the tempo in playing music, keeping the guitars and vocals to remain constant at the specified tempo.
To be able to play bass guitar should we learn first, do not jump to learn bass. Because my teacher said, usually people who can play the guitar can certainly play bass, but one can not be able to play bass guitar.
Like the guitar, the bass is a musical instrument that uses strings or strings as the sound source. It's just bass using 4 (the top string on the guitar if there is), ie the low E string, the A string, D string and the G string being the highest. The composition of the strings on the bass (4senar) also starts from string 6 = E, 5 = A, 4 = D, and 3 = G. So is the writing on the tablature, bass only using 4 lines representing the strings.
Although there is an acoustic bass, but is often used which requires electric bass amps to amplify his voice.
Role Bass On Songs:
- Bass and guiding role as a determinant of chord that is being played in every movement of the song.
- Bass also served as musical accompaniment, which is shared with the role of drummer. Bass can also connect between the guides (guitar and piano) with accompaniment (drums) so it can be a harmonious whole.
We use the chords as accompaniment to a song. Chord is a collection of at least 3 tones are sounded together or close. Well, the main sound that can be recognized from the third tone is called the root note, and the two are complementary chord tones that can produce its own nuances. For example chord C minor (Cm), the root note is C and its subsequent second tone is a decisive chord into a C minor chord types.
There are several techniques in playing the bass:
1. Alternate Picking
This technique is most often used by the bassist, as alternate picking is actually the basic techniques in playing bass. How: strum bass by using two fingers alternately, generally still use your index finger and middle finger.
2. Up Thumb Down
In this technique we use our thumb as a pick, while four others jari2 we use for picking, much like playing the guitar is ... So if we usually use the index and middle finger picking for bass (alternate picking) then this technique we replace the thumb .
3. Slapping
Slapping technique on bass. So play bass by hitting bass with your thumb or palm of the hand, and the sound produced to be like percussion that. The father of her bassist Flea of Red Hot Chilli Peppers typically use techniques like this ..
4. Popping
Mechanical pulling the strings with the fingers and then released again to compete with the fret, so his voice was loud like that pitted the two objects. Usually we can join the slapping and popping techniques, Myspace combinations sound so unique. There are also techniques to draw two strings popping once called double Pluck.
5. Tapping
This technique is commonly used on guitars, but play bass could use this technique. How: press the strings with fingertips to fret bass and slide a little more like a finger poke.
6. Bending Neck
If the guitar we know that lifting the string bending techniques with fingertips, but this time we did it on the bass. How: by the time we pick, press the strings are there on the headstock (the bass end where we normally tune), Myspace resulting sound like buzzing. Her bassist Billy Sheehan Mr. Mr. Big frequently use this technique.
In the play above techniques we need to make people understand that guide it can be done well. Practice and studied the experts will help you enhance our game. Due to a mistake in applying the technique the resulting sound will be different.
Note also the position of the hands, use the power of the wrist, not the arm. Remember, it often is to do exercises for relaxation and fingering finger in order not to injure the finger.
